The leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has unveiled a mobile application designed to track kidnappers and their victims and also expose danger in Yorubaland.
The mobile application and alert system, named ‘Pajawiri,’ was programmed to expose criminal elements wherever they are with their victims once the victims have the application installed in their phones either on or off.
The security system also has another application called ‘Afinihan’ that can be used by those without Android phones to link up with those with the full application.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony held in Ibadan, Oyo State, Akintoye, who joined the event virtually, said the emergence of Pajawiri was the evidence that the Yoruba people are too intellectually-sophisticated to be subdued.
Speaking on the ideal features and benefits of the app, the Co-ordinator of the Pajawiri project, Ayobami Abolaji, stated that the app is a system for warning and protection through an alarm and alert system that would generate protective action for the community and each individual user.
